I am about as sedentary as you get. I sit on my ass at the computer all day. If I'm not blogging, I'm reading. Having Lyme disease (or fibromyalgia--it's basically the same) makes motivation to move that much worse, because it hurts to move! But I can't sit around like a blob forever either.
I picked up the weight watchers ActiveLink at my meeting last week. It measures your activities throughout the day with a full accelerometer. The you plug it into your computer and it assesses your day and awards you points!
For me, it isn't really the points I was looking for, just some motivation. I am completely sedentary, and this monitors you throughout the day.
First you wear it for 7 days … [Read more...]

One of the parts of Weight Watchers 360 is "Spaces". The first thing they encourage you to do is clean out your pantry and refrigerator. Hide the good (but not good on Weight Watchers) stuff in opaque containers and have the stuff you SHOULD be eating front and center.
I had shit that expired last summer!
Pantry, fridge and freezer cleaned. BAM!
I also went shopping and filled up the fridge with lots of fruits, veggies, egg whites, fat free cheese and lean meats.
I'm doing my best to drink lots of water too. Considering the fact that I almost peed myself twice today, I must be doing a good job.
Baby steps... … [Read more...]

I did it. I bit the bullet and joined Weight Watchers. I am halfway in between two offices. Each are about 20 minutes away with no highway and lots of traffic. I tend to be late to everything, a lot. I was late to my wedding, and the scheduled c-section for my youngest son! I have joined the one on the other side of my city about 10 times. Never made it past week 5. Either I would have to skip a meeting, or was running so late I didn't bother.
Also, I was the only non-senior citizen in the room. I go to the 12:30 meetings, and they all have white hair and a cane. (I live in Florida…nuff said). When I was successful on WW in the past, it was at a satellite meeting close to home with a … [Read more...]

About Ana

I'm Ana. I'm always cheating on a diet. I gain weight preparing to "start on Monday", but I rarely get past Tuesday. Every time I lose weight, I gain it back with interest. My closet ranges from a size 12 to a size 20. I'm a chronic reader and a book blogger at Ana's Attic Book Blog. I'm married forever to a skinny guy, with a 20 year old (not at home) and a 12 year old. I hate cooking, cleaning and basically anything besides sitting on my ass and reading. I'm the queen of procrastination!

A year ago I was going to an author event and showing of Fifty Shades Darker. I had nothing to wear besides Mom clothes so I went to Target. I told myself that I was plus size and was going to just dress myself cute because there was no reason a plus size girl shouldn’t […]
